How important is it to invest?

Do you think you’ll have a lot of investments when you’re older?

What kind of things would you invest in?

What things do you think are risky investments?

If you had just one dollar, what would you invest it in and why?

I mainly save money for the future by spending less money, and depositing money in the bank. I'm not very interested in investing in the stock market or other forms of investing because they can be risky if the economy becomes worst, or a bad event happen like an accident or crime like fraud or insider trading committed at a company causes their stock to fall.

If I have more money, I would invest in classic/retro video games, game consoles, toys, electronics and computers because they can be fun to own, and can be worth more money in the future.
 
We only have our 401K through my husband’s work. We don’t do much else as far as investing. What are some good tips people can give to others?

USA. Some friends have some stocks & Roth IRA but we were told they can be high risk. Anybody know the difference between the Roth IRA & a regular one?

Seek out an investor, there are some nice options out there if you got cash to spare.
 
You can't work for the rest of your life. This is where investments comes. They are what you build up for yourself to fall on when you can't drag yourself to work throughout the weekdays.
 
I think everyone here needs to watch this video pronto and others like it.


There's many classes of people in the world based on their ownership of assets and the entire world's financial system is rigged to benefit the asset owning class and the ones who don't own assets and they trade their labour for their money are the ones bearing the entire brunt of inflation and wage stagnation. If you start investing, you can at least start getting the benefits of prices increasing all the time.

Finding this channel has legitimately changed the course of my life.

I have a 401K. That's about as much investing as I do.

I probably need to invest more, but I really don't know where to start.

Just pick a broad market ETF or mutual fund and hold for years. If you even just make a demat account and start looking, you'll learn a lot and find something you'd like to invest in.
If you invested even a few days ago your investments, without gaining any real value would have gone up by around 2% by now just from currency depreciation.

Once it clicks how bad it is, especially in recent months, you will not wait even a single day more.

How much to put in it, though? That's the big question.
